Training & Events

Women for Election runs a series of events, including Inspire training, masterclasses, a summer school and various other networking events. Please see below for upcoming get-togethers and training sessions. Our events are open to any women with an interest in politics or public life. We also welcome women with leadership potential outside of politics – in business, trade unions, or the community and voluntary sector – to our training events.

Due to the current pandemic, Women for Election have postponed all face to face training sessions, fundraisers and events. However, we are continuing to provide support and training to women who would like to engage with political life.

As part of these efforts, we have developed our Working Together Webinar series. We have all been affected in different ways by the current pandemic, this is why we have made the decision to provide most of our online training and events free of charge. It’s our way of helping us stay together, while we are apart. But, Women for Election, like most organisations have taken a huge hit financially since Covid-19 came into our lives. If you can help us out at all, we’d be delighted – you can make a donation here.

If you have any queries or suggestions for future training, please do get in touch with Claire (claire@womenforelection.ie)

It can’t be just a co-incidence! I’m reminded of @SamanthaJPower words to @women4election supporters on this subject “no surprise women leaders often out-perform their male counterparts... it reflects the struggles many had to overcome to get to their positions “ https://twitter.com/women4election/status/1268812585601826817
